Changan AVATR 11 EV in Pakistan
Changan is reportedly preparing to introduce its premium electric SUV, the AVATR 11, to Pakistan a model developed through a powerful three-way partnership between Changan, Huawei, and CATL. This collaboration alone has created plenty of buzz, as each company brings top-tier automotive, software, and battery expertise to the table.
Massive Battery With Real-World Range
One of the standout features of the AVATR 11 is its 116.79 kWh battery pack, one of the largest in its class.
For comparison:
-
Most EVs in Pakistan, such as the MG ZS EV, offer around 44.5 kWh.
-
Even Tesla’s long-range models stay around 75 to 100 kWh.
With its huge battery, the AVATR 11 delivers an estimated 668 km WLTP range, meaning a driver could easily complete a Lahore-to-Islamabad trip (approximately 375 km) with charge to spare.
This kind of range is practically unheard of in Pakistan’s EV market.
Performance: Power for Every Road
The AVATR 11 comes in two main configurations:
-
Base Model 317 hp and 396 Nm torque
-
Dual-Motor AWD Variant 539 hp and 687 Nm torque
To put this into perspective:
-
That’s more power than a Toyota Fortuner Sigma 4 (201 hp).
-
It even competes with luxury EVs like the Audi e-tron, which offers around 402 hp.
The acceleration and handling make it ideal for hilly terrains, long highway drives, and urban roads alike.
Huawei Tech Turns the SUV Into a Smart Machine
Huawei’s influence is visible throughout the vehicle. The AVATR 11 runs on HarmonyOS, offering:
-
A responsive infotainment system
-
Advanced connectivity
-
AI-driven personal assistance
The SUV also uses Huawei’s DriveONE iTRACK 800-volt platform, which supports ultra-fast charging potentially replenishing up to 200 km of range in under 15 minutes (based on international benchmarks).
Level 3 Self-Driving Features
The AVATR 11 includes an advanced Level 3 ADAS system featuring:
-
12 LiDAR units
-
Multiple high-resolution cameras
-
5G connectivity
-
Collision avoidance
-
Lane-centering technology
In global tests, vehicles with Level 3 autonomy have shown up to 40% fewer human-error-related incidents.
Expected Price Bracket in Pakistan
While Changan has not released local pricing, analysts suggest the AVATR 11 may land in the premium EV segment, likely above vehicles such as the e-tron and MG ZS EV.
Based on global pricing trends, experts estimate a potential cost of PKR 25 million to 32 million, depending on features and duties.
What This Means for Pakistani EV Market
If launched, the AVATR 11 could:
-
Become one of the longest-range EVs available locally
-
Push competition among premium EVs
-
Attract tech-focused buyers who want Huawei-powered features
-
Encourage more manufacturers to bring high-end EVs
Pakistan’s EV sector is slowly expanding, and a model of this caliber would mark a major step forward.
Conclusion: Changan AVATR 11 EV in Pakistan
The AVATR 11 is a premium electric SUV co-developed by Changan, Huawei, and CATL, offering a massive 116.79 kWh battery with up to 668 km range and advanced Level 3 ADAS technology. If launched in Pakistan, it could become one of the most feature-rich and high-performance EVs in the market.
